Most people with Osteogenesis Imperfecta take part in some type of regular physical therapy and/or exercise program. You may think that because we break bones easily we would not be able to do that, but in reality, PT helps our bodies keep moving. Certainly we have to be careful, but anything we can do to […]
Be courageous and be brave, and in my heart, you’ll always remain forever young. Sir Rod Stewart As many of you who follow my blogs and Facebook posts have seen, my friend, Christy, and I have had some pretty amazing experiences at concerts all over the country. We’ve had a private meet and greet with […]
I’m not one of those typical “I work best in a mess” artists. I have too much of my father’s left brain in me for that. When everything is everywhere, it makes me to anxious to work. I like organization – everything in its place where I can always find it. I like my workspace […]
As you can imagine, finding an effective way to exercise when you have limited mobility is tricky. It’s even harder when if you move certain ways or overwork your muscles, your bones break. Welcome to my world. My biggest problem is that my muscles are stronger than most of my bones, and so when they […]
As most of you know, I spend a lot of my time lying down. It’s easier for me to function in that position because my back and neck get tired quickly in my chair, and when I’m lying on my side I feel like I’m not having to fight gravity as much. It can be […]

Let’s just get it out there: dieting sucks. Right ladies? I mean, what is better than a hot donut first thing in the morning, a big, juicy hamburger with a buttery bun and a soda for lunch, or fresh pecan pie with ice cream after dinner (maybe with a glass of port or sherry)? I’m […]
This week I wanted to share my last in-home art show in Mandeville, Louisiana with you guys. Since this show took place at a home that is raised thirteen feet off the ground, we chose to have it outside underneath the house on the large carport area. We brought in plenty of tables and had […]
I think I’m speaking for most artists when I say that we are generally pretty picky about what materials we use when we make art. For example, I only use the Winsor Newton brand of watercolor paint in tubes. I find that it has good consistency and pigment (color), and it goes on smoothly. I […]
One of my biggest pet peeves is people who are physically and mentally able that choose not to take the initiative and do something with their lives. Even though I have this “disability” that makes me physically unable to do a lot of normal activities, my parents raised me with the idea that I would […]
